Graphically,solve the following pair of equations:
$2x + y = 6$
$2x - y + 2 = 0$

(4:1) Given equations are $2x + y = 6$ and $2x - y + 2 = 0$.
Table for equation $2x + y = 6$:
$x$$0$$3$
$y$$6$$0$
Points$B$$A$

Table for equation $2x - y + 2 = 0$:
$x$$0$$-1$
$y$$2$$0$
Points$D$$C$

Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ represent the areas of $\triangle ACE$ and $\triangle BDE$,respectively.
Now,$A_1 = \text{Area of } \triangle ACE = \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times PE = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 4 = 8$.
And $A_2 = \text{Area of } \triangle BDE = \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times QE = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 1 = 2$.
Therefore,$A_1 : A_2 = 8 : 2 = 4 : 1$.
Hence,the pair of equations intersect graphically at point $E(1, 4)$,i.e.,$x = 1$ and $y = 4$.
